Creditor's Rights
Creditors’ Rights Attorneys in New Hampshire
Protecting Your Interests
In disagreements about money, neither side is desirable. Owing another person money is understandably stressful, and being owed money can be even more frustrating.
A creditor is an individual, company, or other entity that is owed money. This may include lenders, landlords, and businesses. As a creditor, you are entitled to the money you are owed. There are various methods that can be used to recover debts, and the assistance of a legal professional is essential. The New Hampshire creditors’ rights lawyers of Upton & Hatfield, LLP can provide the guidance you need to resolve disputes and recover your money.
Creditors’ rights are the statutes and processes that allow people, businesses, and other entities to collect money that they are owed. Collecting a debt may require many different procedures, so the details of these cases and what “creditors’ rights” may include can vary widely.

Collection Options
Collecting a debt may require legal processes and other methods. The method of collection that is best for you will depend on the details of your case.
You may have already attempted non-litigation methods of collection, such as employing the assistance of a collection agency or simply pursuing the person in debt. When these methods fail, legal action may be necessary. The outcome of this legal action may include the payment of compensation or the repossession of assets. Debtors may face additional penalties that impact their financial standing.
Legal actions that may be utilized in a collection case could include:
Replevin action — A creditor can seize property from a debtor if payments are not made. The property that is seized is often directly relevant to the terms of the debt; for example, a car can be taken from a debtor if they do not pay their car payment.
Attachment proceeding — Attachment proceeding is similar to replevin action, in that property may be seized if a debt is not paid. A court may hear the case and authorize the seizure.
Lawsuits — A creditor can sue a debtor for the amount of a debt or to acquire property that is equivalent to the debt’s value.
Bankruptcy — A debtor may be forced into bankruptcy if other methods of debt collection have been unsuccessful.
